Size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of granitic rock in different tests

Size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of granitic rock in different tests

This study investigates the tensile failure mechanisms in granitic rock samples at different scales by means of different types of tests. To do that, we have selected a granitic rock type and obtained samples of different sizes with the diameter ranging from 30 mm to 84 mm. The samples have been sub...
